Dog and Cat Grooming

As a rule full groom star to finish takes about 1 hours, depending on the type and length of coat and size of your pet. Hand stripping however may take anything up to 5 hours. Our aim is to keep owners and pets happy so we can follow any special requirement. Whilst in for grooming your pet can be de-fleaed.

Most breeds should come into the grooming parlour every 8 weeks or so but Poodles, Long Coated Dogs & Cats should be every 4 – 6 weeks in order to stop their coats from becoming too knotty and nicely trimmed. We are happy for you to bring your pet in between clips just for brush out and a bath to prevent matting under their armpits and legs. Especially if he/she will not you groom them and you want their feathering left longer.

Puppies and Kittens

They should be brought into the grooming parlour as soon as possible so they can become accustomed to Bathed, Dried and Groomed. To give your Puppy & Kitten a good start in life they should have their first groom between the age of 3 and 5 months.

Winter Cuts

For some reason people think their pets do not need grooming during the winter months as they will be too cold! This is a misconception, if you think about it if your pet becomes knotted and matted they will retain water making your pet ever colder and staying wetter for much longer. So keeping your pet well groomed through out the winter will not only keep them feeling and looking great but you will not have that wet “doggy” smell or heavy muddy paws and coats!

We have a range of winter cuts to suit both you and your pet!

A full groom includes:

• Skilled, gentle removal of knots and dead hair
• Nail clipping/Ear plucking(where needed) and cleaning, anal check and expression
• Bathing/Conditioning and massage
• Blow drying (no cages or cabin dryers used)
• Comprehensive Clipping, Trimming and Styling by qualified, experienced groomers
• Finished with a lovely conditioning cologne spray
• With lots of love, cuddles and attention at all stages!
